Does anyone have any experience(s) that they can share with this type of situation, i.e. encasing a large object in a thick plexiglass enclosure?
Thanks, so much!

Said: We refund so that people don't send their kids to camp with Covid "just to get their money's worth". We don't, and can't, transfer registrations to another camp as the other camps are all full.
